when we wake, New Poems
Overview
Like the Roman poet Virgil, John Secor guides readers through landscapes past and present, exotic and quotidian, personal and political. Each poem is a milestone that connects Canada to eastern Kentucky, Boccaccio to Brenonna Taylor, the witch in the Wizard of Oz to a mother whose shot of "Get Out" saves her child from a burning house. Each voice is distinct and compelling.

I love following John Secor's kaleidoscopic trip across time and borders, with perspective views of everything from sports to religion to family to the shock of current events. Please take a little time to follow his twisting turning life in terms of art, literature, and the occasional bicycle ride. I'm a fan, join me.
